What we’re about
San Diego Machine Learning is an active group for AI & data science education and networking. We are machine learning practitioners, students, and enthusiasts who want to get together to share, discuss and try various techniques -- and possibly hack on the occasional challenge. We have a wide range of experience levels with machine learning either through work, school or personal exploration. We currently have a monthly papers & lightning talks event, book clubs, project time, networking, and a mix of other ML events. Everyone is welcome!
For more information about our AI talks and ML book club, please visit our GitHub repositories: https://github.com/SanDiegoMachineLearning/talks and https://github.com/SanDiegoMachineLearning/bookclub

Mathematics for Machine Learning
Dimensionality Reduction with Principal Component AnalysisWe have a book club to discuss the classic Mathematics for Machine Learning. This a fantastic book to learn fundamentals or deepen your understanding of the math that underlies most of ML. A PDF copy of the book is available at https://mml-book.github.io/.
This session will discuss chapter 10. We are past the theory chapters, and this is chapter connects concepts to discuss PCA. New people are welcome to join.
Please join us in person or online. To get the most out of this session, try to read the chapter and come to the meetup with a question.

Please bring a laptop and be ready to work, this is a technical session where we will try to code and work on a kaggle competition
Kaggle Competition
https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/byu-locating-bacterial-flagellar-motors-2025For this cycle we will try to work on the BYU - Locating Bacterial Flagellar Motors 2025 competition. No experience on this kind of problem is required, we can set you up on Kaggle and start learning about the problem together. You don't need your own GPU to try this problem out, you can get by with what is available for free through Kaggle. We will try to make this as approachable as possible
Agenda:
For this meeting we will split into two groups. We will help people who are coming for the first time to get started on the problem. Returners will be able to collaborate and discuss the competition and start coding.
Location
We will be meeting inside the ALX Apartments downtown. Please come to the front door and security or one of us will let you in. We are in the conference room down the hall to the right.Community:
